UTENSIL-I-IANDLE AND ATTACHING MEANS THEREFOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 3, 1912.

Patented July 2, 1912.

Serial No. 675,138.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE WALKER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New Britain, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Utensil-Handles and Attaching Means Therefor, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a novel form of handle and its means of attachment to a utensil.

The invention is illustrated as embodied in what is known as a cake turner but is adaptable for use in other utensils.

In the drawingsFigure 1 is a plan view of a utensil embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a side view thereof. Fig. 3 is a detail view showing the blade and handle ready for assembly.

For convenience the invention is illustrated and is described as embodied in what is known as a cake turner.

a denotes the blade having a notch b centrally of its rear edge.

0 denotes the handle which is formed from a bar of half round stock looped as at (Z to form a grip, with the curved surface outermost, the two flat surfaces being brought together to form a round shank e and held by the rings f, g which are soldered or otherwise suitably secured in place. The ends of the bar are extended beyond the ring 9 and separated slightly to form jaws 2' to receive the rear end of the blade, the notch in the blade fitting partially around the ring 9. The rivet it passes through the jaws and blades and secures the blade in place and the interlocking of the blades with the ring holds the two parts securely together.

I claim as my invention:

The combination with a utensil, of a handle therefor having a round shank, an open-loop grip at one end of the shank, projecting jaws at the opposite end of the shank spaced to receive the edge of the utensil, said handle being formed from a bar of half round stock bent centrally of its length upon itself, binding rings fixedly secured at each end of the shank, a recess formed in the edge of the utensil and adapted to partly receive the ring, and a rivet passing through said jaws and utensil to secure the parts together against displacement.

GEORGE W'ALKER.
